Subcompact SUV Audi Q1 will appear in 2020

In the network appeared spy photos subcompact SUV Audi Q1, which was brought to road tests. In the lineup of the German manufacturer, Audi Q1 will take place on the level below the Q3 crossover. According to Auto Express, the appearance of the model is planned for 2020. The new Audi Q1 will be based on the modular platform MQB from the next-generation A1 hatchback. In this case, it is expected that the overall length of the SUV will not exceed 3 800 mm, which is 585 mm shorter than the Q3. The drive in the base model is front, but it is also possible to order an all-wheel-drive modification optionally. Like other representatives of the VW group, based on the “cart” MQB, the new Q1 will receive the same gasoline and diesel engines. Presumably, two petrol engines will be offered from petrol engines for the car: one three-cylinder with a working volume of 1.0 liters, and the other – 1.5-liter. The most likely candidate for diesel engines is the 1.6-liter TDI. Also, the appearance of the so-called “soft hybrid” is not ruled out. It is expected that the outwardly serial car will borrow design elements from the concept Crosslane Coupe, first shown in 2012. Audi Q1 price in Europe should be about 25 000 euros. The production of cars will be adjusted at the enterprise in Ingolstadt. The estimated annual output is 70,000 cars.
